Oh well, looky here.
The parents, two concerned ladies, “raised a question.” How nice.
I wonder if they sat politely in their chairs, waiting with their hands raised to be called upon. Silently saying, “call me, call me.” And then were so excited when they called upon, so they could ask a question, then sit down politely and smile, knowing that they had done their job.
*WIMPS* Where are the Fathers!
Only two parents? I agree. . .where are the fathers? Where are the churches?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
The sperm donors are probably out donating sperm somewhere else.

From my own personal experience of talking to the school board on a regular basis, I heartily commend these women for having the courage to confront the school board...not an easy thing to do in this day and age of social media where it is so easy for strangers to post death threats etc.
Just because the article was written in a relatively passive way does not mean the women were passive. They raised questions...yet you put them down as if they were too polite, did not care? Seriously, they cared or they would not have been there speaking.
As to where were the Dads? Wimps?...Judge much? Perhaps they were working? Perhaps they were home with the children—because historically, moms generally know more of what is going on regarding school issues. Perhaps Dads will speak next week? Again, I know this from personal experience that Dads care as much as Moms even if they are not always on the front lines.
Amazing to me how 2 people can read the same article and come to such different conclusions :(
